Revs GM statesKrafts have lost a ton of money on soccer

Thanks for the kind and generous words, Andy.

And if you folks REALLY want the long and short of it, here's the original thread that was prompted by a very critical article by the Boston Herald's Gus Martins on 7/29.

They don't pay rent. Robert Kraft owns Gillette Stadium as it is now called. CMGI only paid for the naming rights, and have now pulled out of the arrangement. The other thing is that, even assuming the Crew are profitable, Hunt also operates the Wizards and probably loses money on them. Now if he's making money off of the Crew, do these profits off-set the Wizards' losses?

 

just to say that i thought andy's focus on the $ part of the article was right on this board.

probably just the way my mind works, but i rushed thru the rest of the article, while reading and rereading the profitability part. since i support a different mls team, profitability of the teams and the league as a whole will catch my eye more quickly than the inner workings of the revs front office.

that's just me. i appreciate that other people would have a different view.

 

This isn't appropriate at all and is the sort of thing that give BS mods a bad name. Why couldn't you just PM Andy and calmly tell him that his comments weren't kosher? Instead you decide to powertrip and make threats in public. Andy's comments were bad but this crap is worse.

 

It's already been settled, eneste.

 

I don't get it. Why would Bob Kraft pay himself to rent his own stadium?

 

OK. Everyone's had their say on the article, apparently, so I'm locking this since it's gone off-topic into a slanging match.
